Ecclesiastes 11:10

Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

KJV

Aufer iram a corde tuo, et amove malitiam a carne tua : adolescentia enim et voluptas vana sunt.

Vulgate

καὶ ἀπόστησον θυμὸν ἀπὸ καρδίας σου, καὶ πάραγε πονηρίαν ἀπὸ σαρκός σου, ὅτι ἡ νεότης καὶ ἡ ἄνοια ματαιότης.

LXX

Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
